The friends that I made in the class ahead of ours are leaving Friday morning for flight training in Washington, then off to the sand. It's a little sad that these are the last few chances I can see them for the foreseeable future.
I was pretty unhappy due to some problems I was facing last night, so a few of them convinced me to road trip to Memphis. It was Tuesday night so it wasn't as if we were going to get crazy. In fact, I chose to drive since I still had class today. But despite all that it was good just to get away.
It was a very spontaneous trip. Since we didn't know that Friday was their last day, it gave us a chance to spend a little more time together. Although I was really looking forward to hanging out with them this weekend, I guess it wasn't in life's plan.
Finding these people really made the past couple weeks very enjoyable. I came here prepared to be a lone and home sick. Instead I was able to spend some time with some wonderful people, hearing stories and creating new experiences to tell others about.
I think the worst part of meeting new people and sharing new experiences with them is the fact that you now that someday you'll have to part ways. It's always my hope that maybe in the near future I'll get another opportunity to share more time with them. If I'm lucky enough maybe someday I'll see this group again too. Whether it's out there or back home, I think the good times will pick right back up where they left off.
